Environment

• EDR Server: 6.3.x
• RedHat Linux (RHEL): 7.x or CentOS 7.x

Cause

CarbonBlack.repo's baseurl is pointing to an old repository with RHEL or CentOS 6.x dependencies.

Resolution

1. Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/CarbonBlack.repo
2. Modify: 

baseurl=https://yum.carbonblack.com/enterprise/stable/x86_64/
to...
baseurl=https://yum.distro.carbonblack.io/enterprise/stable/$releasever/$basearch/

3. Clear the yum cache:

# yum clean all

Additional Information

Installing 6.2.3 on Red Hat 7.5 may require the following baseurl=https://yum.distro.carbonblack.io/enterprise/6.2.3-1/$releasever/$basearch/
